Billionaire politician and businessman, Senator Ned Nwoko, has finally broken his silence over his marital crisis with Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, releasing a lengthy statement accusing her siblings and close friends of sabotaging her rehabilitation process.
Taking to verified social media handle, Nwoko alleged that Regina’s brother, Sammy West, and some of her friends introduced her to illegal substances and consistently frustrated efforts to help her recover from addiction.
According to the statement, the Delta North Senator said Sammy and his associates often “defied medical advice” by visiting Regina uninvited and bringing her drugs while she was undergoing rehabilitation.
These videos show Sammy, Regina’s brother, repeatedly coming to my home and harassing my children and domestic staff, especially whenever I was not around, Nwoko wrote.
This is someone I sponsored through his last two years at the University of Ekpoma. I bought his musical instruments, rented and furnished a flat for him in Abuja, and even transferred ₦125 million to their mother, Rita Daniels, in the last two years.
Nwoko claimed Regina’s doctors had instructed that certain people should be restricted from visiting her during therapy, but her siblings and friends, including Destiny, Sonia Uche Montana, and others, ignored the directive.
Instead of helping her recover, they encouraged her addiction and completely frustrated the efforts of doctors and therapists. Lawrence, Sammy, Destiny, and others also took the same drugs as Regina and even supplied them to her, he alleged.
He further narrated several disturbing incidents, including when Regina allegedly returned home late at night after attending nightclubs and ignoring his calls.
On one occasion, she left the house and didn’t return until 9 a.m., saying she was at a nightclub. When I asked why, she said, You are not my father, so don’t ask me where I was, he recounted.
The senator also said her mother, Rita Daniels, often justified Regina’s substance use as part of celebrity lifestyle, adding that her siblings’ interference made the home environment toxic and tense.
Imagine the pain of a husband trying to help his wife recover, only to have the process sabotaged by her siblings and friends. Each time progress was made, they would undo it by smuggling in the same drugs she was fighting to give up, Nwoko said.
He denied allegations that he sent thugs to assault Regina, insisting that the viral video of her being taken away was filmed in front of my house in my absence. Online movie streaming services
Nobody was beaten. It’s false to say that I sent thugs to beat Regina in another house. The video that went viral was filmed entirely in front of my property by Regina’s sister and her friend. It was a pure Nollywood scenario, he added.
The businessman also revealed that he had sponsored Regina’s brother Lawrence to study in London with $75,000, but said Sammy declined a similar offer and instead got into repeated troubles with law enforcement.
Sammy has since been arrested several times by both the police and EFCC. What he needs now is total rehabilitation and professional guidance, Nwoko concluded.
